Rocky Mountain High

The Rocky Mountains made a considerable impression during our 2010 hiking trip through Canada. Here is an art expression. It is John Denver who is connected to the discovery of this part of the world. This is about my respect for the dimensions and dynamics, which are much larger than me, myself and I.

This view gives me calm and comfort in the loud, noisy, screamy atmosphere of election time. It provides a reflection on the higher connections to be made.

Group Effort

Distribution and reproduction can be a group effort. The mushroom is Hypholoma fasciculare (sulphur tuft, gewone zwavelkop). Beautiful but bitter and poisonous. Coming out as a group can be highly effective for spreading the message.

Four Elements

The Chobe National Park is where the four elements of air, earth, fire and water come together. The grey/white, red, yellow and, respectively, blue form a characteristic colour palette of this part of Africa. The painting symbolises the raging dynamics that climate change can have on nature, here the dry forest lands.

Habitat Antarctica?

The habitat of Antarctica is changing. Large amounts of freshwater flow into the salty ecosystem of the ocean. The penguin faces a significant and drastic change in its food supply. Here is a showcase of the habitat in change. This penguin seems lost. Does the habitat of Antarctica still exist? Climate change is not just an abstract idea but a true driver of considerable loss. We mark this loss now and shortly as a public risk.

King Penguin

This far descendant from the Jurassic, the King Penguin, has mastered the art of flying in the water. It is painted in its natural habitat, Antarctica. The colours and the streamlining are astonishing. My personal ode to this bird.
